I work with several investors involved in flipping to total rehabs.

Best chance you have is to leverage the money and buy multiple properties to flip at once but that increases the risks as well.

@David Bokman is correct, you don't need to have your license to get involved in Wholesaling but it does provide good resources like access to the MLS, collecting commission, and networkingUltimately, I don not have my license but my partner is working towards his.

To me this is not a great fit for a lease option.I have one more separate and unrelated question re: lease options -- In your experience, how hard is it to do lease options when real estate agents are involved?

If interested in learning more about us and a possible opportunity to become more involved with a real estate investment team, please message me and we can set up a time to talk. 

It is a tricky situation when a baby is involved.

I am wrapping up my flip and was wondering what type of payment documentation I will need for both legal and tax protection.The project involved a GC, electrician, plumber, and granite vendor.Do I need to get waivers from all these guys?

Your other option is "full risk reduction" which means you must remove any Peeling, chipping or cracking paint from anywhere on the property.

At the end of the day, it's up to you (your risk tolerance).

At this point, we're thinking our first investment will be at least a year out...Thanks in advance and look forward to being involved in the community!!
